Also X often supported a different size viewport and desktop so the view would scroll.

I remember encountering that the first time I used Linux! Can't recall personally finding a good use for it but...neat I guess?

Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from the Borg Queen to Seven of Nine, you're goddamn right I'm living in the past!

I love my (newish) wired Intellimouse! It's never connected to a windows computer...but I love the mouse.

Certain crops can benefit think from some shade throughout the day:

The study aggregates the effect of agrivoltaics on crop yields at different sites. Tomatoes saw up to double yield with agrivoltaics, while wheat, cucumbers, potatoes and lettuce showed significant negative impacts and corn and grapes showed minimal impact.

I assume that maximal crop output would happen if you just grow things in their optimal climate, but then you rely more heavily on transportation.

+1 for hex, but that's in a lab setting


climate controlled environment, generally not high torque, pretty benign conditions. But even that is fraught with metric-vs.-imperial mix ups.

Replace dirt with salt and that's modern artisanal sourdough.

Multiple desktops, 1999. What an amazing feature.

A quick web search suggests that macOS (then OS X) got this in 2007 ("Spaces"), and Windows not until 2015.

This alone makes this GUI more functional IMHO.

I rode in a 3 a while back, and to me it felt like a futuristic econobox.

So 84,000 for a glass assuming 100% of the fluid is benzene (unless I misunderstood your calculation). Benzene concentration is about 1% of gasoline, and a tanker is about 20,000L, or ~40,000x more than a cup. Cube root of 40,000 is about 34 (cube root for the surface to volume factor). 34*100 is 3400, which is about 25x off from the 84,000 reduction required to be "safe." So it's roughly 25x worse than the Oregon cutoff (but seemingly within EPA limits, which appears to be ~1000x less stringent [!!!]). Unless I made some errors or misunderstood.

In any event I'll try to source my cooking oil from uncontaminated trucks!

(As an aside, thanks for taking my question seriously and putting thought into an answer, unlike some of the other more "colorful" responses!)

When I first heard Foghat's "Slow Ride" I thought they were saying "Snow White / take it easy!" Which made a lot of sense to college me


this Snow White vixen is really getting down to business...
